"No publisher's name is given on the wrapper, title, or in the advertisements ... the American News Co.'s imprint appears as Publishers' Agent, but Sinclair Tousey continued to take out the copyrights until the first series ended. ... It is probable that Beadle was the actual publisher from the first."--Johannsen, A. House of Beadle and Adams and its dime and nickel novels, volume 1, page 127.
